Spurs interim boss Ryan Mason wants Tottenham fans to unite with the team ahead of protests
Spurs fans are expected to continue their protests against Daniel Levy and ENIC this weekend
Manchester United saw their supporters’ force the postponement of their initial game against Liverpool and attempt to disturb the rearranged meeting on Thursday, with fears of a repeat of the huge original disruption prompting the Old Trafford club to change their players’ matchday routine.
Further protests are set to take place at Spurs in the coming days, including one on Saturday, 24 hours before Wolves’s visit, but interim manager Mason said: ‘Firstly, I trust our security. The players’ safety is the most important thing and I trust that we’ll get that right.
‘Secondly I respect the fans, they’re the heart and soul of the football club and their opinion matters, it really does.
‘We want our fans, our team, our football club to be aligned, all pulling in the same direction.’
Levy has been criticised for signing Spurs up to the now defunct European Super League
Defending under-fire chairman Daniel Levy and the club’s hierarchy, Mason added: ‘Our chairman and our board have done incredibly for this football club in the last 10-15-20 years since they’ve been here.
I know how fans see that, I know how fans respect that as well. The most important thing for me is the connection between fans, players and everyone involved in the football club. They’re entitled to their opinion, there’s also Wednesday next week when they can come and help and support the team. I’m sure that’s in the back of their minds as well, to get back in our beautiful stadium and hopefully help the team, will be a massive bonus for them.’
Meanwhile Mason confirmed left-back Ben Davies will miss Spurs’s last three league games due to a calf problem, leaving his Euro hopes with Wales in the balance.
